REMINDER:  The RAOK forum is open to the public, not just to PBS members.  To protect your privacy, the 3 monthly recurring threads are intended to be limited to just what their titles say - Wishes, RAOK offers, and Thanks for wishes granted.  In other words, the posts in these 3 threads should be originating messages only.  Responses to, or chat about, those posts should be by private PMs.  Chatting is welcome in the Share and Care forum, which is limited to PBS members, and where card showers and prayer chains are available for anyone who asks for support.  To protect your privacy, please do not post your addresses in these threads - we recommend that you ask people to PM for your address.  Thanks!
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the Wishes thread, where we post our wishes - maybe things we collect, something we can no longer find in our area, things we have always wanted, etc, etc. No wish is too unusual (though common sense is appreciated!); you never know what will turn up.

We must all abide by these PBS rules :
You may not wish for money or money-like items such as gift cards, or for monetary donations for any charities.  You may ask for things you collect for charities, such as cancelled stamps, pop can tabs, etc., but you may not solicit funding. This includes donations for GoFundMe and other fund-raising events.
No buying or selling or advertising. No spam posts.
No wishing for credits.  Credits are bought, sold and loaned only in the Book Bazaar forum, or you may use the PBS Kiosk to purchase them.
Do NOT ask for books, since books are swapped on the site and book deals are made in the Book Bazaar. Sorry, but you may not ask for free books of any kind. (Unpostable books are given away in the damaged book thread of the Bazaar and sometimes in the RAOK thread. 

Our own RAOK rules: 
Please do not offer payment for the things you are sent, including postage. RAOKs are given freely, asking nothing in return except a thank you. You could pay it forward by granting a wish yourself.
Please limit your wishes to no more than 10. Lists could get very long. You can always edit as you go along.
Unlike many other forums, we ask that you do NOT reply within the threads. We do everything by PMs between members. This keeps the threads clutter-free and easy to use. When you come to this ***Wishes*** thread, you see wishes. In the ***RAOK*** thread, it's all about things we are giving away - simple and easy. And to protect your privacy, please do not post your address in the thread - it's all done via PM.
Please check in and answer your PMs. It's frustrating when people want to grant your wishes and don't hear from you!
PLEASE say THANK YOU to the person who grants your wish.  You may use our monthly ***Thank You*** thread, or you may acknowledge what you have received via a personal PM to the member(s) who granted your wishes. This is very important if you wish to continue to receive things from others.

Tips:
Check the RAOK thread before you post wishes -- the thing you want may already be there for the asking!  If you see a wish you can grant, just PM the poster for their address.
And please remember, if one of the moderators contacts you about a posting, then we are only trying to keep the forum running smoothly and according to PBS rules. If you are asked to change, move, or delete your post, please do so. Most of you know that the PBS team does get involved to edit posts, and accounts do get suspended, if rules are broken. We hate to see that happen to our fellow RAOKers!

If you have questions, feel free to contact me.  I wish that your wish(es) will be granted!

Happy June everyone. Hope everyone's wishes are granted this month.

My wishes this month are:

Pretty unlined stationary ( regular size, not computer size) or larger size note pads. Would also like to get some of the yellow lined large note pads (not the white ones), with regular space between lines, not college wideth. Sometimes I prefer the lined paper, but only the yellow standard size lined ones.

 

Thanks to anyone that can grant my wishes this month.

Continued prayers for my brother, Chuck.  He is on treatment number 68 and July 5th will be 4 years of cancer treatments, even though only given 3 to live. 

 

As a little side note,  this is what he wrote in part for his CaringBridge (he tries to update often but has been putting more time between some very spiritual and uplifting post)  update after his last appointment.   It is sad, funny and touching all at once.     

 'Doc walked me through my treatment plan and then we debated on if I would have treatment again in two or three weeks.  He always wants two and I always want three. Often when I say three, he says he doesn’t have clinical data to support three. My response ways that he doesn’t have clinical data for someone with 68 rounds of chemo. His response was “touché “. But he won the verbal spar as he said normally he would have been filling out death certificates by now, ouch.'

My wish is for a knitting loom. Any size or shape.  I've always wanted to learn to knit and I've heard this is a very relaxing way to do it. Thank you for reading.  

Happy start to your summer!  :)

This is a very long shot but does anyone have a full length slip, size L, they no longer want/need?  Would prefer beige or white but will take black.  I have a very gauzy dress that needs something.  Wish granted.

Even longer shot but would prefer slip in cotton, instead of nylon, if possible.

Thanks for looking!

Dad feel better prayers would be greatly appreciated as would prayers that I keep recovering so well. God has taken me so far. I am truly blessed.

I would really appreciate one penguin and one flamingo sticker. I only need one of each. 

Thank you, friends. God Bless You. Happy Father's Day to all celebrating :)
